The Miami Dolphins secured a 29-17 home victory over the San Francisco 49ers in a game that featured a few mistakes including a relatively easy pass that Tyreek Hill couldn’t reel in. However Tua Tagovailoa stepped up to defend his teammate during the post-game press conference.
According to Tagovailoa Tyreek Hill’s dropped passes aren’t solely on him as the quarterback admitted that both of them need more time on the field together. Tagovailoa emphasized that the chemistry between a receiver and a quarterback comes from consistent practice which is something they haven’t had much of this season due to injuries.

Tagovailoa completed 22 passes including one touchdown during the matchup with the 49ers. He highlighted the importance of connection between teammates using Jonnu Smith as an example. Smith recorded six receptions making him the tight end with the most receptions in a single season for the Dolphins.
The lone receiving touchdown for the Dolphins came from Tyreek Hill who caught just three passes for 29 yards during the game. Hill’s touchdown came on a short 3-yard pass in the final three minutes of the second quarter during a 3rd-and-goal situation.
Jason Sanders contributed significantly scoring 17 points with five perfect field goals. Additionally Kader Kohou made a critical interception in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter when Brock Purdy attempted a pass to Jauan Jennings over the middle. Kohou’s play effectively sealed the Dolphins’ victory.
The Dolphins’ win over the 49ers was a testament to the team’s resilience and ability to overcome mistakes. With Tagovailoa’s leadership and the team’s determination they were able to secure a crucial victory.
